WORST experience with AE-86. I promise you'll be entertained... please read.

I just picked up an AE-86 which was advertised here and on firesport. Good price to suit limited budget and was promised to be good. Picked it up last night, handled the price changes and all that. Fair enough...
5 minutes after driving it, a center bearing went. Started making this loud rattling which got so loud i pulled over and got the previous owner, who assured me it's just a minor thing that need attention and can be fixed. Fair enough, my bad luck i accepted it and dealt with it.
NExt thing, the car kept stalling. figured out how to use lumpier cams even though i was told the car wouldn't stall or do anything like that when i was looking at the car. Okay fair enough, i dealt with it and life goes on.
As i drove on and stopped for 10 minutes, then going again for 10 minutes at 40 km.h (for the distance of a 1 hour drive under normal speeds), to prevent further damage. i dealt with the situation, fair enough. We'll make it home and sort it out in the morning.
Next thing the car died, ignition went completely out and wouldn't start on a tight stret going uphill. Cars behind were honking as the other side of the road had an opening lane. My passenger rushed out to push the car so as not to hold up traffic. Uphill...
Ignition fuse blew. What kind of setup has a 40A amplifier wire fuse (2 of them) to regulate alternator and ignition current from the battery? Fair enough. 1 hour later after finding a fuse at 12.30 AM (i managed to find a fuse for an amplifier wire at 12.30 AM, can anyone top that?), i plugged the fuse in. Next thing, the car wouldn't turn over. Just kept cranking and cranking. Fuel pump woundn't work.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------
Time to travel 1 hour to see a sprinter with 4A-GZE with heaps of goodies (forged pistons, 255 cams, Haltech ECU, the works).. negligable (in getting an investment).
Dealing with one problem after another and accepting that a lot of work needs to be done to begin with without the problems... heartache..
Realizing the truth of what we've just bought.. pain, anguish and stress.
Getting laughed at by good samaritans who've helped me to push the car up the hill so i won't block traffic, for having a supercharged engine that cuts out at 5000 RPM and at that moment, won't even start.... priceless.
For all your toyota needs, there's mechanics, wreckers and tuners. For a way to getting fucked, buy my car.
